Field Trial Analysis

If there is yield data available for the field, a Field Trial Analysis may be requested. The Field Trial Analysis gives users financial statistical analysis of application areas defined by the user within a field. The analysis is meant to specifically compare cost of the application in conjuncture with resulting revenue against areas that did not receive the application, this is not a financial analysis of all inputs over the course of the season. Follow steps below:

  • Market Value: This input field is required for Field Trial Analysis calculations. Input an approximate market value for yield units.
  • Product Cost: This input refines calculations by applying an per acre cost for the field trial treatments.
  • Application Fee: This input adds a per acre cost of applying the treatment to the field.
  • Program Fee: This input adds the cost of the chemical program to the Analysis.
